It’s Sliced Cheese on Bread. And It’s Rocking Copenhagen’s World. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/d... Just when Denmark is proclaimed the great hope of the democratic west we learn the Danes too are morons.

What this piece says—and then derangedly refuses to hear itself saying!!—is that seniors spend less money because the American work force got its stable, guaranteed pensions taken away and replaced with personal investment savings. And then it wonders why they're risk-averse with the money!
The third piece I’ve read in as many days “concerned” that Americans are ”sitting on capital” that needs to be “freed up”. www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

On Supreme Court expansion, “how do we avoid touching off a race to the bottom,” you ask? What are they going to do in response? Artificially shrink the Court to 8 for a year? Attempt a coup? Reverse the Constitution and 250 years of precedent to put one criminal president above the law? What if?
Calls for expanding #SCOTUS are entirely (and increasingly) understandable. But as today's "One First" explains, there are at least four difficult questions that those who support expansion should have to answer—especially as compared to other possible reforms: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-257-...

[Bernie winter jacket gif] I am once again urging anyone who thinks that technology has never liberated people from drudgery to read "The Sad Irons" chapter in THE PATH TO POWER
Just because something doesn’t fully liberate from drudgery doesn’t mean it’s not a useful tool for some people, I don’t think this is too hard to understand. I still do laundry but it takes a couple hours instead of a day of labor.

The term “transphobic” is so inadequate for bigotry like Hegseth’s. He doesn’t fear trans people like some fear spiders or heights. He hates them with a passion. It’s an evil choice, not a psychological malady.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur while speaking at the Iowa State Fair Monday, where he appeared in support of Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who is running for a third term in Congress.

Bret Stephens used his Wall Street Journal column to peddle climate lies and write about "the disease of the American mind" and that got him a loftier perch at the New York Times, from which he demands "accountability" for others
The problem with Woke 1 was its lack of proportionality. That's why everyone who tweeted about how racism is bad should be sent to the Hague. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/o...

note: the GOP didn't do Project 2025, Heritage & allies did. so don't let Dems do Project 2029. Let a lefty coalition do it. And make damn sure that juristocracy-ending jurisdiction-stripping the centerpiece of court reform, not weak-ass court expansion.
If the Dems do a Project 2029 type thing of shovel ready policy papers it's gonna be a lot of shit like "loan forgiveness for pell grant recipients who start business" when it should be "we asked 50 retired OEM dealer relations lawyers how to fuck over car dealers and here's what they said"

Ross hates liberalism because it brought us fascism, which he's indifferent to positive about. (I saw a line like that referring to the tankies/campists of the horseshoe left—which Douthat isn't but it fits—though when I searched for it I couldn't find it. Anyone know of the original?) 5/x

They aren’t “split.” A few fucknuts are being exploited by right-wing jizz-buckets to say racist shit. Most every other family doesn’t care.
Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

Third Way, a professedly "center left" group, is spending tens of millions of dollars to convince voters to vote for Republicans in November
This is a glorified single-source interview with the head of Third Way. It quotes far more moderates saying they support the progressive candidates in the general election. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...
